(M. Barnes/J. Browne/D. Jarvis)

I've been down a highway
A lonesome, two-lane highway

Driving hard all night
I've been thinking about you
The truth is ringing so true
The picture's clearer in the light

I've been running from a good thing
It's been right here in my hands
You know you can't build a better love
Than what we had

You can climb a mountain
Way up on a mountain
Till you hang along thin air
You can cross the river
But the other side, it ain't no greener
Once you're standing there

See, I've been running from a good thing
It's been right here in my hands
You know you can't build a better love
Than what we had

Babe, I took so much for granted
And I've had so many doubts
But I'm gonna hold on to this good thing, baby
'Cause we've build the kind of love no one can tear down

You know you can't build a better love
You just can't build a better love
No, you can't build a better love
Than what we had
Than what we had
You just can't
You just can't
Ain't no better love
